Thanks for reading our first blog post! Kevin has been wanting to get a blog up and running for quite some time now, but unfortunately he’s kept extremely busy shooting Food, Lifestyle and Headshots. I’m Kevin’s Studio Manager, Rob and therefore I’ll be your host for most of this blogging adventure. But just in case someone else does have a chance to make a post, lets give a quick overview of who you might run into.
Kevin Clark. The photographer and lighting master, owner, business visionary, original photoshop guru and the guy that supplies me with all the nice gadgets that make my job easier (easier?…yes, easier). Kevin’s been in this game for 17+ years and still finds ways to improve his work and keep his headshots looking dynamic. Most of his work comes out of Vancouver where we’re based, but with years of travel experience Kevin is willing to go anywhere for the right shoot.
Tricia Clark. The make-up artist, hair stylist, art director, posing instructor, fashion consultant, time management engineer and of course Kevin’s wife of many years. Trish is also the one that helps persuade Kevin not to buy so many gadgets so that we can be around for a few more years. A perfect balance.
Andrea Robertson. Originally brought on soley for administrative purposes, Andrea’s background in photography and digital environments continues to prove extremely helpful as we abuse her abilities to the utmost! She’s our resident digital cosmetic surgeon and the Queen of proofs. How soon do you want your proofs back?? Be nice! I’m not excluded from that…she prints out my cheque!
Keith Race. Keith is a photographer himself, but helps us out by retouching from home when we’re on Actor overload. A fine combination of sqeed and quality. I’ve never met Keith yet as he lives on the Island, but hopefully he’ll be down for a visit sometime soon….he types emails in a very friendly and nice way. aww.
Robert Marks. That’s me. I’m Rob. I’m the dentist. As is often needed, drastic surgery must take place within photoshop and so far I haven’t found anything I can’t make look real. Missing a tooth? No problem. Does your hair kind of look like a mullet from that angle? Done (I can also add mullets on special request). I’m around to make sure everything gets done. And I’m also around to sort of think up new things that later on I will need to make sure get done. And lets not forget my most important role…Studio DJ. I haven’t thought up a cool DJ name yet, but I will accept requests. Kevin’s and Trish’s daughter thinks I’m weird. Correction…”very very very very very very very very very weird”. Seems to me like they’ve raised a sharp kid. Let’s hope for my sake the other two aren’t so keen. But that’s enough about me, I just realized I made my paragraph the longest. All the more reason for the rest of the team to login and add their own comments.
I’ve only been around a short while as Kevin’s Studio Manager. I took over for Ariana who couldn’t resist her travel bug any longer and is definitely missed. Lots of things have changed in the last few months while I’ve been around. Hey! We’re blogging now! And within about a month, we’ll be launching the new Kevin Clark Order Center. A revolutionary site designed by Steven Luscher of www.stevenluscherdesign.com for our clients to order all their proofs, repros and more all from one site directly through our studio. Here’s a sneak preview screen shot of the site:
